 Datai Jungle Villa room
overlooking the rainforest by janiebaxter, 1 more photos
The hotel is a member of the small leading hotels of world and standards are very high here - from the staff knowing your name when you phone for a service to the rooms, restaurants, spa, food and all levels of service. The beach is swept every morning and cold flannels are brought around to you as you lie on the beach. Having said that we found it good value for money compared to other luxury hotels of the same standard we have stayed in.
Our room was a Rainforest villa which was set apart from the main building high up in the forest, looking out over the tree tops. It was very large and comfortably luxurious, decorated with natural materials.
The walkways and paths down to the beach and to the other parts of the hotel take you through the beautiful forest, where you can see birds, geckos and other wildlife. All the walkways are hilly and quite steep, so the Datai is not suitable if you have difficulty walking or getting around.
There are 3 restaurants - Malay and Western food in main restaurant, Thai food in the Pavilion overlooking rainforest and the Beach club by the sea for lunch al fresco or in the shade.
The Datai shares a bay with The Andaman, another luxury hotel, but has its own large beach area with shady trees and sunbeds, and an excellent small bar tucked away just behind the beach where they serve wonderful cocktails at Sunset with complimentary satay.
The Spa is one of the best I have experienced, in a beautiful location with one side open to the rainforest.
This is one of those hotels you just don't want to leave.
Top class service at a reasonable price (compared to other luxury hotels in the world).
Stunning location set in virgin rainforest in a beautiful Bay.
Everything we wanted was right here - we didn't need to leave the hotel. Theme: HotelPrice: US$120-180 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averagePhone: (+60-4) 959-2500

Upon arrival the bell men took the car away, took our luggage, and escorted us to check-in. The lady there immediately escorted us to the lounge area nearby overlooking the rainforest and offered us complementary drinks. As we drank, she took our details and checked us in. Then she escorted us to our room.
We stayed in an End Suite as the Pool Villas had all been booked. The suite was gigantic and beautifully furnished. The rain forest comes right to the edge of both balconies in spite of being three floors up. Signs say to keep the doors closed when not there because of monkeys. Sure enough, I stepped out of the living room for two minutes, came back in, and there was a monkey on the coffee table eating the complementary fruit. It ran away before I could take a picture.
Children cannot swim at the upper pool, but our daughter loved the one down by the beach anyway. Staff will take you back and forth to the beach in golf carts if you don't want to take the ten minute walk.
We went on the night time nature tour and I sailed on the hotel sailboats, all inclusive. The restaurants were magnificent and the staff able to read your mind.
All in all, it was perfect. Theme: HotelPrice: US$180 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: most expensivePhone: (604) 959 2500Directions: Northwest corner of LangkawiWebsite: http://www.thedatai.com Other Contact: datai@ghmhotels.com
